Oh man where do I start with this resort? First of all we went for our honeymoon. Neither of us ever went to Jamacia previously. When we arrived Sandals had a nice place inside the airport where they took your bags and had a great lounge area as well. *Do not convert your money from US it's 15% fee and serves no purpose. The ride to Ocho Rios was just like driving in the US no crazy drivers or super bad roads. (We're coming from PA though so our roads rank last anyway.) Got to the resort and paradise began. Loved the fact that we had two butlers to help us but really didn't know what to do with them other than making dinner reservations. Room was nice but bathroom although clean seemed a little out of place for such a nice place. Mini bar was fully stocked with whatever alcohol we requested. The place has peacocks everywhere. Very neat. The french restaurant was a must. We actually did it twice it was so good! Orlando served us there and did great. Even took our picture. Actually all the staff was always offering to take your picture which my wife liked. The beach butler was Adrian and he knew what you needed and always keep the beach goers satisfied. (BTW Beach and personal butlers can take tip.. Beach about $5-10 a day and personal $10-20 depending on how you feel. We waited till the end to tip both but would have rather tipped Adrian the first day so he knew he would get something. (believe me he's worth it) Vurgina was the tour rep. She was in the lobby ready to help. We did the dolphin ride, tubbing and ziplining, and catamaran ride to Dunn's river falls. all of which were great. The Dolphin excursion was over rated. Swimming with the dolphins was amazing and the rest of that place was boring. We left early. I would recommend that instead of booking through the tour guide you use your butler to make you a taxi ride back and forth and pay just for the dolphin swim there, that way you can save money for the $50 5x7 pictures they want to sell you! All in all the place was so relaxing, no kids anywhere. We did go to the Rivera next door because they had more restaurants and had sushi at Soy, and ate at Neptunes. It was very neat that your butler went over there with you to get your meal started! (thanks Richard and Sheldon!) We will go back!!! The next day after we got home Mark the GM who talked to us at dinner one night called and asked me how our trip was and wished us well. (No sales pitch or sales talk, just checking in on us.Thanks for a great honeymoon Royal Plantation

The rooms are extremely nice and ALL the resturaunts serve excellent food. I temporarily gain weight each time I come here.They are always improving the landscape. I've been to the Riu in Ochos Rios and Negril?? But at least once a year we come to the one in Montego Bay since its opening a few years back. I love the proximity to the airport. The only problem I have is that I know all the nightly entertainment acts. I love the Michael Jackson show. I love the steel drum band that they bring in. I love the nightime beach parties. I love the bands that play before the night club Pacia opens. Don't care for the fire eater. There seems to be a cutback in the staff of entertainers and waitresses. You now have to get your own drinks and miss part of the nightly show. I've seen Grease at least 4 times. I guess they don't expect repeat guest. Why do the entertainers practice since they always do the same acts every year? There are two acts that are the same acts at the Grand Pallidium. The daytime entertainment is much better at the Iberostar Resort. (I visit Jamaica often). They need to improve the daytime entertainment. AGAIN, I love the Michael Jackson show. I think they should put up those bug zappers to kill the MANY mosqiutos. There used to be an opera singing bartender (I thought that was pretty neat). The fact that they have nightly entertainment puts them way above the rest. I've been to resorts with no nightly entertainment and thats a HUGE mistake. When I go on vacation, I just want to sit back RELAX with good food and be entertained.

My first trip to Jamaica and I was pretty nervous about staying at the Carlyle. The hotel was nice we had a beautiful view of the ocean. The staff was cool and the activities were fun. It was a laid back vacation for me, there was some construction during the day, but that was fine, who sleeps the day away in your room anyway. The beach outside is a public one so be prepared for vendors approaching you to buy stuff...If your firm or act like you don't speak English your good, lol. We did go to the other resorts where we slept the day away on the beach (still have tan lines), drank like a fish and went on tours. Again the staff is very friendly, already planning my trip back.

We just returned home and it was my sons first trip out of the country, it was a long drive there but well worth it. It was nice to not have to figure out how much to tip all the time. They have a tone of activities for children and families, I don't think it is much of an (adult) resort, they are more family oriented which was great for us. Whoopie, Dice and the rest of the entertainment staff do a great job. My son is 14 and met a ton of new friends from all over, the staff was wonderful, Dwight and Arron at the swim up bar are the best bartenders, friendly with everyone and great with the children. The beach is a little smaller than pictured but it is very clean, we had our own snorkeling gear so did a lot of water sightseeing. If you go off the resort or to the edges you are confronted by alot of pushy people trying to sell things, but that is their livelihood, and you get it most everywhere you go touristy. Food was good, not alot of choices, but they were good. Rooms were clean. Would recommend the Dune buggy, Dunns River Falls and Bob Marley tours, worth every penny. Overall had a great time and would go back tomorrow.
